A night out between friends turns hot and tempting when Gabe deliberately pushes Tom’s submissive buttons. Then Tom discovers rope in Gabe’s glove-box—and it’s not the type for securing luggage. This ~14,000-word short story was originally published in the Rules to Live By anthology and has been lightly edited.
